Sidebar Note: Yahoo Sports And The Pain Of Java
I just added Yahoo Sports MLB home page to the blogroll at the side. I wish I could remember the helpful soul who suggested this to me over the course of the last year to thank him, but Yahoo player splits -- even though they only go back to 1987 -- are immensely faster than anything MLB.com has. Need to know a player's career record against a particular team, as I did the other day with Washburn? The only way to do it on MLB.com is to look up the historical team numbers over the player's career and wait... and wait... and wait. If you're lucky, you'll get an answer. If not, the Java engine might time out, or God knows what. I don't care what Ken Arneson thinks, it's just too easy to write bad applications in Java. I see it all the time, and it just doesn't have to be that way.
